The set was replaced in 2013 by a 2 disc set called ''Early Stages - The Highlights'' which features a selection of tracks from each concert, plus one new track, a version of "
Market Square Heroes" recorded at the Fife Aid concert in 1988. This was the final song of Fish's final live performance with the band.
